Best Settings Found for Gold 15-Minute Timeframe
After extensive testing and optimization, these are the most effective settings I've discovered for trading Gold (XAUUSD) on the 15-minute timeframe:
Core Filter Settings:
Sampling Period: 100
Range Multiplier: 3.0
Professional Execution Engine:
Realistic Entry: Enabled (HL2)
Spread Buffer: 2 points
Dynamic Slippage: Enabled with max 1 point
Volume Filter: Enabled at 1.7x ratio
Signal Confirmation: Enabled with 1 bar confirmation
Risk Management:
Stop Loss: 50 points
Take Profit: 100 points (2:1 Risk-Reward)
Max Trades Per Day: 5
These settings provide an excellent balance between signal accuracy and realistic market execution. The volume filter at 1.7x ensures we only trade during periods of sufficient market activity, while the 1-bar confirmation helps filter out false signals. The spread buffer and slippage settings account for real trading costs, making backtest results more realistic and achievable in live trading.
